”Yuan, huh? Hey, Yuan, can I ask you a question?” Lian Er suddenly asked.

”Go ahead.” He nodded.

”Then… Why are you wearing a mask?”

Yuan smiled behind his mask and said, ”I just enjoy wearing masks. It makes me feel safe for some reason.”

”I see…”

”Anyways, who are you cheering for this tournament? There will be five Master Demon Sealers participating today.”

”I’m cheering for Senior Yan,” he responded without hesitation.

”Senior Yan? She’s a very powerful demon sealer— best of her generation, so I can see why you would cheer for her. However, I would cheer for Senior Suo, who is the grandson of Grand Elder Suo. Not only was he trained by one of the best demon sealers in the entire Demon Sealing Clan, but rumor has it that he’s been trained by the current leader as well.”

”Grand Elder Suo? Who is that?” Yuan asked.

”Y-You don’t know of the Grand Elders? They’re the backbones of the Demon Sealing Clan!” Lian Li exclaimed in a shocked voice after hearing his words.

”Well… I am relatively new to the Demon Sealing Clan, so I am not aware of this stuff yet. I’d appreciate it if you could broaden my views.” Yuan explained.

”How’d you get in here if you’re new?” The triplets looked at him with raised eyebrows.

”I was invited by Senior Yan.”

”Ah… Is that the real reason you’re cheering for her?”

Yuan nodded, ”Yes, but that’s not the only reason. I don’t know any of the other participants, so I can only cheer for her.”

”Don’t worry, you’ll learn about the other participants very soon.” Lian Er said.

About five minutes later, the rowdy atmosphere suddenly came to a halt even though nothing seemed to have happened.

However, a few moments later, Yuan could see three individuals appearing out of thin air, and they hovered above the coliseum.

When the spectators there saw these figures, they all stood up and bowed to them.

”Greetings, Leader Qian and Grand Elders!”

’Leader?’ Yuan raised his eyebrows. He wondered if the current leader of the Demon Sealing Clan was amongst these three individuals.

’That middle-aged man…’

Yuan also recognized the middle-aged man that teased him at the entrance.

The handsome young man standing in the center of the group raised his hand and calmly waved it.

”Sit.”

Almost as though his words were backed by a magic force, everyone in the coliseum sat down the next second.

’That’s probably the leader of the Demon Sealing Clan…’ Yuan thought to himself as he sat down.

Once everyone was seated, these three people took a seat in a special area within the spectators’ area.

The handsome young man sat in the middle on a beautiful throne made out of some kind of red jade while the other two sat beside him.

A few moments later, five more figures appeared on the platform in the middle of the coliseum. Yan Hara was amongst them.

”Greetings, Leader Qian and Grand Elders.” The five participants bowed to them in a respectful manner.

The handsome man, who looked only to be in his mid-twenties, stood up from his throne and spoke in a calm voice, ”Welcome or welcome back to the Demon Sealing Tournament. I, the 8th leader of the Demon Sealing Clan, Qian Chu, shall oversee this year’s tournament alongside Grand Elder Suo of the Demon Sealing Clan, and Grand Elder Cen of the Demon Sealing Grotto.”

”Our participants this year will be—”

Qian Chu purposefully did not finish his sentence to allow the participants to introduce themselves.

”Suo Rengan of the Demon Sealing Clan.” A handsome young man stepped forward and introduced himself in a clear and confident voice.

”Jiang Ziya of the Demon Sealing Grotto.” A middle-aged man introduced himself next.

”Yan Hara of the Demon Sealing Clan.” Yan Hara stepped forward and gracefully bowed towards Qian Chu’s direction.

”Zu Ti of the Demon Sealing Grotto.” An old man with a mixture of black and white hair said next.

”Shen Yue of the Demon Sealing Grotto.” A beautiful woman with looks that almost rivaled Yan Hara’s appearance was the last to introduce herself.

Once all participants introduced themselves, Qian Chu continued to speak, ”Today, these five Master Demon Sealers will participate in the Demon Sealing Tournament and compete against each other to become the next Supreme Demon Sealer!”

”Within the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto that has over 500,000 members, there are less than 20 Supreme Demon Sealers combined, so you can imagine the prestige this title carries.”

”However, only one of you will be able to become a Supreme Demon Sealer at the end of this tournament. Are you guys ready?” Qian Chu asked the five participants as his sharp gaze stared at them.

”Yes!” They all responded simultaneously.

”Then let’s get this event started.” Qian Chu said before sitting back on his throne.

The moment Qian Chu sat down, Grand Elder Suo stood up and shouted, ”Activate the formations!”

Once the Formation Experts heard Grand Elder Suo’s voice, they immediately activated the formation, creating a powerful barrier around the platform, protecting the spectators and preventing the participants from leaving at the same time.

”The formations are activated!” A voice resounded a few moments later.

Upon hearing this, Qian Chu suddenly flicked his sleeves, and a black flag with a red symbol on a golden pole flew out of his sleeves and landed in the middle of the platform.

This flag was wrapped, and there appeared to be something restrained by the flag.

When Yuan saw this flag, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his blood began boiling, almost as though it was reacting to the flag.

The flag slowly unwrapped itself after landing, revealing to the spectators what it had been restricting— a demon.

Yuan’s eyes widened with shock when he saw the demon, as it did not give him the feeling of an artificial demon.

’The demon… It’s a real demon!? They’re going to use a real demon for this event?! This is insane!’ Yuan cried inwardly when he realized that they would be using a real demon for the tournament.
